That’s why we revamped the Firefox for Android to be the most private mobile Firefox so far.
It's so private that it won't even let you browse the internet. Talk about innovation!
Why does every single company that once used to be decent eventually fall into hot garbage?
These companies are always tinkering with something in the name of "advancing technology", or "providing a better experience," when it seems more like it's just some assholes trying to justify their employment. It inevitably turns things that were once amazing and simple into convoluted messes that utterly destroy what brought people to it in the first place. It drives me nuts.
Seen this happen so many times to simple programs I really like.
Plex is pretty much the centerpiece of my entertainment system, and I'm starting to get really worried because I'm seeing them start adding a bunch of crap features that I can't believe any significant number of people use. I really want to grab them and scream in their faces "STOP ADDING STUPID SHIT NO ONE WANTS (like building in all this stupid no-name internet streaming crap no one wants), AND JUST IMPROVE AND STREAMLINE MY MEDIA MANAGEMENT!!!!!1111"
The idea of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is completely lost on a lot of businesses these days. Like I said, the only thing I can think of is that it's some desperate people trying to justify their job. More does not always mean something is better. Simplicity is a wonderful thing.
If we don't randomly remove and add features then the customer might try a new product out of curiosity, so we'll make the interface slightly harder to use every three months so they have to spend hours finding the stuff they want.
I hate that phrase when it comes to code, because when people say it they're usually talking about code that only 1 guy in the company even remembers exists, is completely unmaintainable and a security hole just waiting to happen (if it doesn't already contain some). Real programmers rarely have a low workload and there's usually a growing mountain of technical debt that no one has the time to get to.
But when it comes to UI/UX design people, I think you just shouldn't employ those fulltime, because they'll spend 80% of their time coming up with bullshit that most actual users will hate just to justify their paycheck.
